Rough overview of the MDI Idea Center:
- Add an item (document), choose a client from list, select a project (dynamic according to client), choose a document type (see below), title, notes, budgeted hours, priority, sign-off required, sign-off by who, hide/show document (still in edit mode).
- Able to search any projects, any clients, etc. Quick and advanced search options.
- Only the correct person could do the sign-off. It would then show up for roll call. Very simple: a check box and a notes field.
- Anybody could add a comment to any document. All of the person (user) date and time stamps happen behind the scenes. Very simple: a notes field.
- Application had an auto response (send an email to Brandon) built-in. It would let me know if an item was added, a comment, and/or a sign-off happened, pretty cool.
- It also had an email form built in.
- The notes and comments allowed for html to help in the presentation. Any outside files had to be uploaded separately through FTP.
- It also had options to finish the document. This included finish notes, actual hours, priority, and lock-down options.
- There was a built-in 5-level deep outline option using div tags.
- Document types (drop-down list): ideas, add-ons, progress reports, change requests, bags, phone calls, meetings and verbal, email documentation, other, proposals, contracts, project scope and overview, project schedules, “workflow, roles, and responsibilities”, phases and milestones, creative document, technical document, requirements and specifications, other main documents.
